Why men choose laser
Shaving rash, ingrown hairs along the neck, and fast regrowth on the back are the main reasons. Laser reduces the hair at the root, which also reduces ingrown hairs and the dark marks they leave.
Beard shaping
Laser can define the cheek line and neck so the beard keeps a clean edge without daily shaving. The doctor maps the line with you before the first session; it is worth being conservative, because treated hair does not come back.
Back, chest and shoulders
Large areas are quick with a big spot size. Male body hair is dense, so expect more sessions than for women and a noticeable change after the third or fourth.
Comfort
Dense dark hair absorbs more energy, so the first sessions can feel stronger. Both machines cool the skin, and the Deka Motus AY's gliding mode is especially comfortable on large areas.
